Popis: Aim:This study examined the etiological causes and their cost analysis in patients admitted and hospitalized with macroscopic hematuria (MH).Materials and Methods:Hemograms, urine, and biochemistry results of patients with MH, radiological images and pathology results, hospitalization need, hospitalization durations, and hematuria causes acquired following hospitalization, and the expenditures during this phase were registered for the patients. Laboratory values for the detected hematuria causes were compared and examined statistically.Results:Seventy-eight patients admitted to the emergency department with MH were evaluated. The most common underlying pathologies were bladder cancer (34.6%, n=27), prostate pathologies (24.3%, n=19), kidney stone (8.9%, n=7), urethral stone (7.7%, n=6), kidney cancer (7.7%, n=6), bladder stone (6.4%, n=5), urinary infection (6.4%, n=5), kidney laceration (2.6%, n=2) and arteriovenous malformation (1.3%, n=1) respectively. The mean invoice amount covering the management starting from admission with MH was 6647±10200₺ for each patient. In operated patients (n=54), hospitalization duration, catheterization duration, and invoice amount were found to be higher; in patients with malignancy (n=34) age, hospitalization duration, catheterization duration, and invoice amount were higher (p
